We just wanted to let you know the deadline is fast approaching for Poe inspired stories, poems or essays (Dec 31). We plan to publish submissions as a paperback book. Hope you consider submitting a story, poem or essay! Details here.

We also wanted to say congratulations for Don M. for winning the Poe gift basket.

Included in this post is a picture of a Poe ornament on a tree donated to the library from the Festival of Trees. Please check out other Big Read photos here.

Looking forward to The Big Read Dearborn Kickoff on Saturday, February 6, 2-4 p.m. at Henry Ford Centennial Library, 16301 Michigan Ave., Dearborn.

Happy Holidays!
